During the upcoming Lake City Pioneer Days the
Lake City Chamber of Commerce is hosting a
photo contest to help capture our community at its best. We figured as inspiration for the contest we would publish historical photos from Lake City Pioneer Days in the 1940s and 1950s. The pictures come courtesy of the
online Seattle P-I and were discovered during a recent trip into their massive photo archive.
See below the photos for details on the Chamber of Commerce photo contest.
